INTRODUCTION
The Polilight Flare+2 produces powerful narrow bands of light at wavelengths between 350 nm and
670 nm. The various coloured heads of the Flare+2 have been selected to facilitate various forensic
applications. They are suitable for all fingerprint and other trace evidence detection techniques and can
be used in three different ways to detect and enhance forensic evidence:
Fluorescence (Photoluminescence) imaging.
Reflection imaging using specular and diffused reflection.
Absorption imaging.
